I keep staring at the door, and I keep waiting for the bellThat used to say you've come to call once more.The beginning's begun. The beginning of loneliness.Just look around, and you'll see an empty chair, There in the corner of the room, Where you would wait, 'til I walked down the stair.

The beginning's begun. The beginning of loneliness.You've gone away, and loneliness just fills my life and never goes away.My empty arms reach for you.Oh, won't you think it over, my love?Can't we start again? Think it over, come back.Just how many tears do I have to cry?You've got to love me. If you don't love me I'll die.

You know I said, you've got to love me. If you don't love me I'll die.The beginning's begun. The beginning of loneliness.
